Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.

This Year Marks Some Significant Anniversaries for Canadian Highways

From the August 1st Wheels.com Blog.

This year is significant for two Canadian highways.

The first section of the Queen Elizabeth Way between Hamilton and Toronto was completed 75 years ago.

The Trans-Canada Highway between Newfoundland and Vancouver Island is 50.

The author also reviewed a new Route 66 book and, what was that that Queen Victoria said?

So, not only is Canada in the midst of the bicentennial of the War of 1812, but this year is also important for its highways and roads.
